Bill Cowher did it. So did Herm Edwards and Jim Harbaugh ... but Tony Gonzalez says there's NO CHANCE he's gonna join that gang as the next NFL player-turned-coach.

The future Hall of Famer -- who still gets calls from NFL teams to come back and play -- arrived at LAX yesterday when we asked if he had gotten any calls to COACH as well.

Johnny Manziel's career might be in idle ... but his super hot GF is crushing it -- scoring a modeling gig with a clothing company ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Colleen Crowley just inked a deal with a brand called No Rulez NY -- which makes hats, shirts, sweaters, etc. -- and she's already knocked out a photo sesh featuring some of the items.

The man behind the company is 19-year-old Brian Wolfe -- who says he met Crowley through a mutual friend earlier this year and thought she'd be a perfect fit for the brand.

So far, the decision to sign Crowley is already paying off ... with not only Manziel sporting the gear, but Browns teammate Donte Whitner has also been seen rockin' the clothing out in public.

Wolfe says he does not have a deal with Manziel but hopes he can work out a deal with 35 in the future -- "I’m such a fan. He’s such a motivator for kids to make it and become successful. It would be an honor if he’d endorse it."

Former NFL star Jason Sehorn has separated from his wife Angie Harmon after 13 years of marriage.

Sehorn and Harmon have three daughters together (11, 9, 5).

The couple got engaged on "The Tonight Show" back in 1998. They were married in 2001.

According to reports, Jason has been living in North Carolina and working as an analyst for ESPNU -- while Harmon was staying in L.A. with their daughters. She currently stars on the TNT drama "Rizzoli & Isles."

A former NFL lineman -- who now coaches college football -- is being investigated over footage that allegedly shows him body-slamming someone in the school gym ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The man at the center of the investigation is Charles Grant -- a 2002 1st round NFL draft pick who won a Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints in 2009. He's now the linebackers coach at Bowie State University in Maryland.

Multiple witnesses tell us Grant is the man in the grey shirt in the video ... who confronted another man in the BSU gym Thursday. We're also told the other man in the video is a student on the football team.

You can see in the footage things get heated ... and the large man in the grey shirt attacks and body-slams the other man. Even raising his fist at one point ... before pulling back.

We made multiple calls to Grant and his people -- but never heard back.

Johnny Manziel went on a cursing rant on an NBA referee during LeBron James' homecoming game in Cleveland last night ... and his rage was captured on video.

Johnny Football was pissed off after what he clearly felt was a BAD call, and repeatedly yelled -- from his courtside seat -- "Bulls**t" and "F**k" ... for a solid minute.

Anyone who thinks a 6'2", 320 lb. hulk can't get it poppin' like a supermodel ... is about to get a lesson from football star Chris Baker in this awesome video.

Baker joined other NFL players Pierre Garcon and C.J. Mosley to strut down a fashion runway in D.C. last night. You gotta see how the crowd ate it up.

All the guys were decked out head-to-toe in threads by GANT for the Becky's Fund 6th annual "Walk This Way" fashion show ... which raised more than $200k -- but also made Chris a true player in big man dancing.

Sorry Green Bay. Condolences Chicago. It ain't Oakland, either.

In fact, super chef Bobby Flay tells TMZ Sports there's only one stadium that comes to mind when it comes to be the best NFL tailgating food.

Flay also drops some knowledge about the hot new tailgating item that can turn your parking lot party into a delicious feast!!

Former NFL linebacker Takeo Spikes says he had a secret routine before he would take the field on Sundays ... he'd fire up a Rachel McAdams movie.

Spikes -- who played 15 seasons in the NFL -- says McAdams flicks like "The Notebook," "Wedding Crashers" and "The Time Traveler's Wife" would get his mind right before a game.

"[Her movies take] me to a place where I'm very confident in myself," Spikes said ... "It's kinda like the calm before the storm."

Legendary billionaire T. Boone Pickens just made one helluva prediction -- THE COWBOYS WILL WIN THE SUPER BOWL ... but it won't be Tony Romo who leads 'em to victory.

The 86-year-old business tycoon was out in D.C. yesterday when we started talking football -- and he told us the BEST PART of having the football stadium named after him at Oklahoma State.

And that's when asked Pickens -- who's made a ton of solid bets in his life -- to give us a hot tip about the NFL.

Check out what T. Boone has to say -- specifically about the QB situation in Dallas.

Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle offered an officer $100 for a MASSAGE while he was being booked into jail for stealing underwear ... and it was all caught on tape.

It all went down at Frisco City Jail in Texas after the 22-year-old was busted for shoplifting cologne and undies from a nearby mall on Oct 13th.

To say Randle was acting bizarre during the booking process ... is kind of an understatement.

Some of the highlights on the video obtained by CBS DFW:

-- Randle to female booking officer: "If I give you $100, can you give me a massage?”

-- Randle to Agent (on phone): "I got jammed up. I need a… I need an attorney to get me a writ bond so I can make it to practice tomorrow."

-- Randle to male booking officer: "Hey, is this going to be on the news, you think?"

ANTONIO GATES IS BACK!!!

Not just because he's having one of the best seasons of his career, but he's also returning to "The League" ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

The San Diego Chargers tight end used his day off from practice to come up to L.A. to shoot a cameo on the hilarious FXX show ... and he talked to us about the shoot on his way off the set.

Gates has been on the show before -- and was hilarious ... when he was confronted by one of the characters in a hot tub whose fantasy team had lost because Gates scored a TD.

So, does Antonio have a post-NFL career in Hollywood?? Check out the clip ... he's not exactly shooting down the idea.

Retired NFL star Steve Smith is taking Titans QB Zach Mettenberger to task for that gameday selfie he took before taking a loss against the Texans.

Mettenberger's been getting blasted by fans and players for the Instagram of his new haircut -- hours before Sunday's kickoff ... his first start, by the way. Smith says the kid needs to be more like his ex-QB, Eli Manning.

Smith was shopping in Calabasas when he stated his case ... and it's a good one. Ever seen an Eli or Peyton Manning selfie? Exactly. And Steve's got hardware to back up his argument.

Talk about pouring salt in the wound!!!

A Washington Redskins superfan grabbed a microphone at the DALLAS AIRPORT this morning and led the D.C.-bound crowd in a rendition of the team fight song ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

The guy who grabbed the mic was in town for the Cowboys vs. Redskins game Monday night -- and was clearly still fired up about his team emerging victorious!

So, while waiting for his flight back to D.C., he grabbed a mic from the flight attendant's stand and asked all the Redskins fans who could hear his voice to join him in singing "Hail to the Redskins."

They did ... and it was LOUD!!

The Washington Redskins PR guy who rushed Colt McCoy away from a live interview with ESPN Deportes tells TMZ Sports there's a good reason he hurried the QB -- he didn't want Colt to miss the coach's postgame speech.

The interaction went viral -- with the Redskins PR guy famously screaming to the reporter, "NO MEANS NO!"

We spoke with Tony Wyllie -- the Senior VP of Communications for the Skins -- who tells us, "We wanted to get Colt in to hear coach's postgame speech."

He adds, "I wasn't denying access. I wanted Colt to hear coach talk. I felt we needed to get him inside."

Wyllie says, "Right after the speech, Colt went out and did the interview. I explained the situation to them. They were happy in the end."

"NO MEANS NO!"

Crazy scene at the end of the "Monday Night Football" game last night ... when a Washington Redskins PR guy WENT INSANE on an ESPN Deportes reporter who tried to interview Colt McCoy.

The Redskins QB had just finished up his first postgame interview after leading the team to victory over the Dallas Cowboys ... when the ESPN Deportes reporter grabbed Colt and tried to have a conversation.

That's when Colt's team handler went BERSERK -- getting in the reporter's face, grabbing Colt ... and screaming, "NO MEANS NO!!!"

Ray Rice and his wife Janay are fully aware of the Ray Rice costumes that have been surfacing this Halloween -- and they're telling friends they're simply praying for the people mocking them.

You've seen the pics -- people dressed up as Ray dragging around an inflatable Janay in an effort to lampoon the infamous elevator attack.

We've spoken with friends and family members close to Ray and Janay who tell us ... the couple is dealing with the unwanted attention by turning to religion.

One source tells us Ray and Janay have said they are "praying for those people."

As we previously reported, Ray and Janay have been extremely involved with their church since the incident ... and were both baptized in March when they decided to become born again Christians.

We're also told Ray and Janay are still committed to the marriage -- and have vowed to maintain their family and rebuild their lives together.
